Dippy's Helicopter


Dippy used his Christmas money to buy himself a helicopter.  He got it over Christmas break.  He flew it th efirst day he got it, and it flew four houses down from us and cracked some of it.  Then Rod had to have a turn and he broke the wings!  After placing an order with Amazon for replacement parts, he's ready to fly again!
 This was the first night.

And then we flew againn tonight
 He tied the helicopter to a string and tied the end of the string to a heavy rock.  That way, it doesn't get up too high to get out of range and he can practice flying.  He couldn't learn HOW to fly it before because it would go off too soon.  He did have better control tonight.


 He also had an audience tonight.

 Widget likes Oreos.  A LOT!!


 He's all sugared up and ready to shoot down the enemy aircraft!
 You can see the repair made to the nose.
 Widget findig a different 'gun'.  So glad the water wasn't turned on to the hose.
 "What?  I wasn't touching anything."
